The Cheapest Gig in Town
從古歐洲的吟游詩人，到如今的國際街頭藝術(shù)節(jié)，人們對街頭藝術(shù)的看法向來是一分為二的。有些人認(rèn)為它在本質(zhì)上就是一種藝術(shù)，而另外一些人則認(rèn)為，它與乞討沒有什么不同，只不過是一種高級的、體面的乞討方式罷了。不過，話又說回來，能說服路人為你的表演買單，也算得上一種藝術(shù)了。

A busker is someone who performs music or an act on the street. The most common kind of busker plays a guitar. Passers-by will drop money into his/her guitar case. However, players of other instruments, from the classical violin to the handsaw, are also buskers. In fact, any kind of street performance can be regarded as a form of busking. This includes fire-breathers, jugglers, storytellers, mime artists and dancers.
街頭藝人是指在大街上演奏音樂或表演節(jié)目的人。最常見的街頭藝人是吉他演奏者。路人會將錢丟入他/她的吉他盒中。不過，演奏其它樂器的人也算街頭藝人，他們演奏的樂器囊括了從古典小提琴到鋸琴的各種樂器。事實上，任何類別的街頭表演都可以被當(dāng)作一種街頭藝術(shù)形式。這就涵蓋了玩噴火把戲者、變戲法者、說書人、啞劇藝術(shù)者和舞者的各類人群。
Busking and The City 街頭表演與城市
In some cities busking requires a permit while in others it is tolerated as long as it doesn't ①interfere with noise and traffic regulations.
在某些城市中，街頭表演需要得到許可，而在另一些城市中，只要它不違反噪音條例和交通法規(guī)就沒有問題。
In Europe, city authorities generally welcome buskers. It is believed that in busy city-centre areas street performers create a festive and lively atmosphere that helps to attract more visitors and shoppers. As passers-by stop to enjoy street performances, they are more likely to take notice of the nearby shops and businesses, and to make more purchases.
在歐洲，市政*一般是對街頭藝人持歡迎態(tài)度的。據(jù)信，街頭藝人可以在熱鬧的市中心創(chuàng)造一種喜慶活躍的氣氛，而這有助于吸引更多的游人和顧客。當(dāng)路人停下腳步來欣賞街頭表演時，他們很有可能會注意到附近的店鋪和商行，從而購買更多的物品。
